Vice president of regulatory affairs Marc Ratner explains “scale gate” controversy from UFC 274

UFC VP of regulatory affairs Marc Ratner has given his thoughts on the scalegate controversy that impacted Charles Oliveira.

While a string of fighters may have had issues with the scales on Friday, the most notable incident came when Charles Oliveira failed to make weight at 155.5 pounds. After being given another hour to cut the final half-pound, the Brazilian could not get over the line and was ultimately forced to surrender the strap.
